[sera]

Has anyone been there? I'm interesting in wot everday life is like there, and how apartments and wotnot work. . ^^ Thankies!

Hehe well I`m in japan right now XD;
Although I don`t know what their everyday life is like... wel I guess I sort of know what the students in junior high are doing but.. I`m guessing thats not what you were wondering XP

[sera]

lollol ^^

Do you mind describing things? ^^

[Dyani]

Um...I know that in Tokyo people rarely steal anything. Like, you can leave your purse behind and no one will touch it. (But don't expirement with that.)
I also know that it's rude to sneeze, you have to hold it in. I know some more weird things like that, but they most likely won't be very useful.

[sera]

Pretty much anything will be useful at this point. . . ^^' hehe ESPECIALLY stuff like about the sneezing. . . oO'

Heh, you can IM me if you'd like to talk about Japan. 9_9; I know a lot about the teen-age scene there, if you'd be interested, and some customs.

I have a couple friends in Japan, one native, and two Americans, so I have a pretty good foundation of knowledge from what they tell me. X3;

(Hope you're having fun, Thal. XD)

Japan's a very interesting country. Be careful of culture shock when you get there; even the most prepared people sometimes feel intimidated by the new language and the signs...although they do speak (broken) English often. ^_^;

I can`t say much since I can only get on the net for afew minutes at a time but alot of stuff in schools is alot different here... For instance rather than the kids going from class room to class room the teachers just switch around instead... school starts at 8:30 and ends at 4:30 or so... Some of the places here only have three students in a school larger than most of the ones we have XD ( flees )

Lucky you I'm into different cultures and love to hear stories about custems and stuff. Enjoy yourself!

PS. Don't eat any blowfish unless you really want to.

[sera]

Trebias and I are moving to Japan in October. ^^

[Thalron]

hehe cool, oh yeah one really important thing ^_^; Don't leave your chopsticks in your food if you are not holding them because it means death >.>; yeah... alot of things in japanese mean death XD

[Dyani]

Heh. Sorry, that just reminded me of The Simpsons, where Grandpa goes around pointing at everything (Maggie, the cat, the grill) and going, "aaah! Deeaaath!!!!" ;D

[Thalron]

Well you can do that and half the time you might be right XD like if you say four people it means dead people XD Unless you use the special word for four people XD

[Belladandy]

Then were do you leave your chopsticks?
Of course in the person next to you food dish

[Thalron]

lol no, you set them down flat next to your food or across the top of the bowl if its soup XP
